A recent educational meme asks educators to share unpopular educational positions. Coach uses the episode to share some of the ones he believes would have a room full of teacher to pull out their knives (figuratively of course) if he stated them. Find out how Coach uses a comedian (Bill Maher) and journalist (Bari Weiss) to prove his points and explains why we as teachers shouldn't be surprised the other side of a political spectrum pushes back if we buy into the view from Paulo Freire, that all teaching is a political act.
Please listen and email you figurative knife out or let Coach know if you are putting it away at ptcpodcast411@gmail.com
